How it works

Beaker uses a peer-to-peer filesystem on the Hypercore Protocol. Users connect directly to your computer to access your files.

var drive = await beaker.hyperdrive.createDrive()
await drive.readdir('/')
await drive.writeFile('/hello.md', '# Hi!')
await drive.stat('/hello.md')
await drive.readFile('/hello.md', 'utf8')
await drive.unlink('/hello.md')

Read & write files

beaker.hyperdrive API

async function readSocialFeed (sites) {
  return beaker.hyperdrive.query({
    path: '/microblog/*',
    drive: sites.map(site => site.url),
    sort: 'ctime'
  })
}

Query the filesystem

beaker.hyperdrive API

var topic = beaker.peersockets.join('chat')

topic.addEventListener('message', e => {
  var message = new TextDecoder().decode(e.message)
  console.log(e.peerId, 'says', message)
})

function sendToPeer (peerId, message) {
  message = new TextEncoder('utf-8').encode(message)
  topic.send(peerId, message)
}

Send & receive messages
